A 4771 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to withholding the governor and lieutenant governor's salaries until the legislative passage of the budget occurs

This bill requires that the governor and lieutenant governor's bi-weekly salary payments be withheld if the legislature has not passed a budget by the start of a fiscal year. Payments resume and any withheld amounts are paid in full once the budget is approved. The bill defines "legislative passage of the budget" as both houses of the legislature acting on the governor's budget proposal, with the comptroller confirming it covers state operations for the coming year. It directly affects the governor and lieutenant governor by linking their salary payments to the timely passage of the state budget.
